About Sean Strecker / @strex
From IT geek to drone cinematographer. The long way through Bali.
I first came to Bali in 2001 as a 21-year-old on holiday. I was working as an IT professional and soldier at the time, not a photographer. The island made a huge impression on me but I wouldn't return for many years later.
I spent the last eight years of my defence career as an IT officer for Forces Command. High-pressure, high-responsibility work. The kind of role that takes a toll over time. By 2015 I knew I needed to change course completely, and I did. Consumer drones had just become serious tools, and I went all-in on photography and filmmaking.
I built a commercial career on the Gold Coast shooting high-end real estate and luxury resorts. Three months in Bali in 2019 gave me my first real taste of shooting the island properly. In 2023 I moved here full-time.
The presets, the pitch system, and the content tools on this site are what I actually use. Built because I needed them. Shared because they work.

A place for the knowledge I have been collecting for years.
The blog is where I’ll publish the field notes, creator lessons, aerial storytelling ideas, camera reviews, and workflow systems that do not fit inside a caption.
Why the Sony FX5’s Open Gate matters more than 8K.
For creators delivering YouTube widescreen and Instagram vertical from one shoot, the shape of the recorded frame can matter more than another row of pixels.
